Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'Kirby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Japan) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too. Its usually pretty spacious and dreamy : ) For this track we added the talents of Dylan Banks playing the Intonarumori as it seemed the least likely instrument ( and therefore most fun)  to suit this pseudo jazz jam extraction. As always Aporia may or may not record more music

Violan for Padshop 2 continues the groundbreaking orchestral FX string expansion series, reimagining the viola as a powerful cinematic sound design tool. By transforming traditional articulations and percussive strikes on the instrument’s top plate, pegs, and bridge, Violan delivers an extraordinary palette of textures that go far beyond the concert stage.

Inside, you’ll find evolving pads, re-synthesized comps, chromatic percussion, and a wide range of orchestral FX including risers, glissandi, and clusters. These are paired with dark soundscapes and rhythmic suites of strings and percussive elements, offering endless inspiration for tension, atmosphere, and movement.

Perfectly suited for science fiction, epic thrillers, and horror, Violan empowers sound designers, film scorers, and trailer composers with apocalyptic intensity and ethereal beauty—unlocking new dimensions of creativity.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
